A sewing weekend

I went to two ice hockey games this weekend so I didn't expect to get much done in all honesty (if you even slightly care, we won 6-0 at home on saturday and lost 3-1 away on sunday). When I sat down at my machine on saturday after a little lie-in til 9am I really didn't fancy sewing my curtains and I really wanted to start something new. I was thinking about doing a porthole quilt with my Birds and Berries layer cake for Moda Bake Shop...But I was disciplined and told myself NO and instead I sewed the second block (made from teeny tiny pieces- it's only 6") of my big sampler project that I plan to just dip into every now and then when I'm feeling disinterested with my WIPs. I finished the applique block the night before in front of the TV as planned.And since the urge to not do someting useful continued, I put another line on my Hello Chevron project. I am starting to love this already so I may do another line later...And then on Sunday before the game I sewed the majority of the first row in the row by row swap on Popular Patchwork. I finished it this morning before work. The theme was squares and rectangles and my partner Alison wanted bright blues and greens. I'm hoping this fits the bill. More itty bitty squares- this is 6" x 36" (finished size). Some of the seams are wonky on this, I'm hoping she's less of a perfectionist than me!Oh and I did manage another column of curtain patchwork- halfway through that now ;)I'm sure I'll get round to that porthole quilt after I've finished some of this other stuff off first.
